Computer World @ MindSay 
It's the drunk in my past shufflin' by like a train...
Sounds on its track like a ride, like a ride that don't last.
Swears each drink is the last, tells the same lie each night.
And breaks every promise...
I have to admit that I'm a gadget freak. I know that many of you will find that hard to believe, but it's the gospel. In the Year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-eight, I purchased my first computer. It was a technological wonder to me with 128k of RAM, Apple OS, dual floppy drives, and a green monochrome monitor. I was so high tech that many gazed upon me in wonder. Then in 1991 I assembled my first of many IBM compatible PCs. It too was a technological wonder with its 486 processor, 1meg of RAM, 120meg hard drive, and 15" color monitor...
In the years that followed, I built a few more computers, purchased a few that I made major upgrades to (I had a nasty reputation of voiding their warranties the moment that they were lifted out of their boxes), and then other gadgets began to creep into my life. PDAs were another big source of enjoyment for me beginning with the Palm m100 that I purchased. The m100 provided me with endless opportunities to write all I needed to write and its full-size collapsible keyboard made my friends go, "Ew." My favorite PDA was the Zire71 that I purchased to complete my most recent venture into college after the ole m100 started to show its age. Much of this Blog was written on the Zire71 as well as one of my Web sites being almost totally written on it. It also provided a great many pictures that wound up on the Internet. Alas, it started showing its age and eventually it died...
So now the gadget I use on a regular basis consist of my new ÜberPuter, an old Zire21 PDA that I set up to nearly mirror my dead Zire71, an old laptop that I still use because some of the software on it won't run on the ÜberPuter and the fact that it is portable, and now to the collection is the device that I am now typing these great tales upon, an HP 320LX Palmtop PC that I finally got around to getting working for it has a full-sized keyboard unlike the Zire21 and is far more portable than the laptop and has 1gig of storage so I can write for an eternity and never have to delete a single thing...
Yes, I have a technology addiction, but it has not killed me over these past 20 years so I think I shall just live with this flaw in my character...
This is the Word of the AntiCrust...
Praise be ye who Read the Word for ye are Blessed amongst humans...

Wierdest dream
I guess some weird things creep into my head at night. First the dream about a far away magical realm with half dragons, a mysterious princess who isn't exactly human, and now to a really really fucking sci-fi world.
Basically I was part of a high tech team of rebels. We were fighting off a planetary alliance of some sort, for there was something it was doing that was awful. May I also mention I was hellishly hot, but not exactly human either. I was bio-engineered for some experiments a while ago, and they woke me up every now and again to work as an assassin. But this rebel team found me, ripped the possession device from me, and then finito we were out of there. I was around 5'7", long black hair, strange icy blue eyes, pale skin. It was very strange because I was VERY human, all of the same ways you could kill me ect, but I was also the first human bio-engineering experiment that could dream, but not only dreamed. I dreamed of real places, and I could also access a very specific computer system. There was this strange new computer thing they were doing where in order to make it so computers could work faster they worked at the speed of light, but the light could do more than just run the computer, it could travel from world to world in specific traveling units. I could tap right into them. These beams of light some times hit each other and sent energy everywhere, but this was very rare now. The strange thing was that it seemed that these beams of pure light left residue behind, and these residues could be found in the dream world that I could tap into. So I followed them, and found out what was going on by these bits and pieces of information. Don't ask me how I knew this in the dream, I just did.
Alright, so my crew was made up of this strange black blob of a creature who seemed to like walking around in the form of a four legged spider like thing with this large glowing eye type crystal thing. She could not access the dream world, but could decipher the data disks and such at an alarming rate, I think she is a computer like form, but in liquidic and thinking form. It was truly weird. She couldn't talk to anyone but me, because there something that connected us, she spoke to me in a code but it transfered into a voice. Some really weird stuff for a girl who is not a computer.
Then there was I think three other members. This really cool green colored guy, perfectly bald. He wore loose fitting clothes and didn't speak much. I believe that his world had become terraformed by the planetary alliance and all his people were killed. A few of them still lived scattered, but not many, and most were being hunted.
Then there was two human males. One was in constant status, he had gotten a data spea, the new version of weapons to this world, to the chest and was barely hanging on, so we had put him into status to keep him alive. Then there was another male, boy. Gay funnily enough, an kinda flamingly so. He was cute though, young and a bit pudgy but very cute. He was really innocent, and he was with us due to the fact that his family was killed by the planetary alliance, they were both researches involved in the project that involved me some how, and he too was rescued from the same facility as myself. I might add, for some reason I do not age...ever.
Anyway, there was also another woman on the team, she was a dark mocha in color, buddhist I think. She came from earth, the only one of our party who did. She wore very strange clothes, I can't really describe them. She had years upon years of combat training, I didn't get a chance to find out exactly what it was she did, besides cook some of the most awesome food ever.
Now the real kicker, was where we were. There was this large floating green cube, I'm not kidding a cube, with all sorts of odd beige pods upon it. The green cube was a computer, a gigantic freaking computer. It floated in space and on the top and bottom, I think, were two blank spots where these beams of strange green light and mist escaped. They were like pure pillars of this green color, surrounded by rings of varying colors but mostly blue. The beige things were life pods for non-computer life forms. It wasn't exactly the greatest thing designed ever for sustaining human life since they didn't understand how humans worked so the air level was a bit low, but it wasn't bad. The floor was strangely plush, and the bedding was divine. We were here to find a girl, human girl. A really dumb bimbo of a human too. I have no clue why the fuck we were finding her, but I had to travel the cross hairs of the technology emissions, I guess you could call them. Which was hard as hell since all there were were these fucking emissions and you had to jump from one to another to get to the right place. Luckily the, I dunno astral projection of the blob like captain was there and she helped me. Soon we cornered her down in the shopping district of this lower disk. The lower disks were all the living quarters for non computer life forms and controlled by the sphere. She was shopping, blowing money, and having a grand old time. So we decided to send down Harold, the gay kid, to talk to her.
In the mean time, I was asked to sleep, I also had a hilarious trip of going to the bathroom that I really don't want to talk about. So I slept, until Harold contacted me. He was dressed in feather edged jacket, lipstick, oh it was hilarious. He was having a grand old time, and now had managed to get her to leave him alone in his apartment. He wanted me to use the data emissions to show my astralprojectiony self to him and help, but since I had a video read out we decided we would just work that way. Around this time I woke up due to m dog licking my face. But got, it was weird.

hhhmmm, interesting is this thing I can life. I recall quite a while back upon this Blog that I had taken a few words to muse about how folks pop in and at of one's life. And now I am on the cusp of having it happen again...
I have been on this Internet thing far long than most being that I have given my Official Year of Connectivity as 1995, which happened to be the first year that I paid for the privilege of venturing out into the world of CyberSpace, but I had experienced this new world at least a year prior to that. I have done the IRC thing and folks cycled through my life in waves with the old being replaced by the new with a few just swirling about in the middle - never going anywhere. Next came the UseNet and this turned out to be much the same - a core of folks going nowhere with new folks replacing the old. Now my career of Blogging has reached the point when the new is replacing the old...
And here I am at the eye of the storm with a few others, but for the most part folks are swirling about, ever changing, old becomes new becomes old for all eternity in the Circle of Life...
